Vicar of Dibley star Emma Chambers passed away over the weekend at the age of 53, and now the popular actresses’ cause of death has been revealed.

He told Radio 4 this morning, saying: ‘It’s no age to have a heart attack, as I understand it.’
Plowman, who produced the Vicar of Dibley, added: ‘Emma was a gifted comic actress who made any part she played look easy. She was adored by the cast and crew.’

Emma Chambers was a hilarious and very warm person and of course a brilliant actress. Very sad news.
